Those dark eyes, the earnest look in them made Tim want to relent. Raylan made a compelling case for continuing but instincts that had saved the Ranger's ass on numerous occasions were churning his gut.
He wanted to let go but at the same moment felt his grip tighten and with it his resolve.
"I think we're best served to take the hint," he said and for the first time he deliberately stepped back, seeking to pull Raylan with him. "This doesn't feel right, and it ain't just about the town wanting to keep us away."
If anything Tim was starting to feel a pull forward. There had been movement in his peripheral vision and it had taken every ounce of self-control to keep from turning towards the motion. His senses were at in theater levels and screaming TRAP. With each passing breath he felt a growing urge to pull Raylan further and further away.
'You can't have him!' The thought came unbidden and Tim might think more on it later but right now he took a second step back, grip tightening as he was almost to a point that he'd have to try to drag the cowboy if Raylan didn't relent.
